(Molly)
I would like to ask for your prayers over the next few days regarding our house....
We had a showing last Saturday. Before I left the house I walked into each room and asked a particular saint to pray for our family. (Poor Saint Monica got the bathrooms, but as I was trying to think of someone appropriate, I remembered myself potty training three children in those bathrooms and realized Saint Monica could probably relate. She, of course, had to train Saint Augustine!) As I left I sprinkled blessed salt on our front step and asked for blessings for those who would enter there that day.
As of last night we hadn't heard any feedback from the realtor so we weren't sure what the clients thought, but we remained hopeful. Today, our realtor called the showing realtor for feedback. The clients really like the home!! It is, however, their second choice after (da, da, da, DAH) a home in foreclosure. So, the clients are making an offer on the foreclosure tonight. Their realtor even admitted that there was a possibility that it wouldn't go through because there are often multiple bids and other factors that could prevent them from getting the foreclosed home. Another perk in our favor...they're out-of-town clients and would likely be able to move in very quickly.
So, as crazy (even mean?) as it might sound, would you pray that perhaps their offer wouldn't go through on the other home tonight? And that if it doesn't go through that they'll be compelled to make an offer on our home in the next couple of days? I've been challenged to be very specific in my prayers, so I've decided I will pray for that very thing. (And then I'll say ,"Thy will be done," of course. I really do want the Lord's will in this and in all things!)
In any case, we feel that even if this situation doesn't end in a sale, things are at least going in our favor. It seems the economy is getting worse, but the traffic of home buyers is picking up in part due to the stimulus plan.
We'll keep you posted when we know more! St Joseph, pray for us!

We will pray for you guys, as always. May God's hand be upon this entire process. I love how, before the showing, you went through each room and asked certain saints to pray for your family. And that you remembered your blessed salt! Keep us posted ... God bless!
When I read your post I couldn't help but think of St. Cecilia who was martyred in her bath.
St. Cecelia, pray for us!
